AWS, QuEra Target 2028 Cloud Launch for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers

AWS said its expanded partnership with QuEra aims to put what it calls the first fault-tolerant quantum computers on AWS Braket by 2028, giving researchers cloud access to systems built for complex scientific workloads.
Libra, QuEra’s planned system, is designed to deliver 1 million quantum operations per second across hundreds of logical, error-corrected qubits—a threshold AWS says could unlock materials, physics and chemistry applications.
QuEra is betting on Rydberg-atom qubits controlled by lasers rather than the superconducting-circuit approach used by IBM and Google, arguing the architecture can better stabilize qubits and reduce the errors that have blocked practical quantum computing.
The roadmap builds on QuEra’s 256-qubit Aquila device, launched on AWS in 2022, and fits AWS’s broader strategy of offering multiple quantum architectures alongside classical and AI computing in hybrid cloud workloads.
